Using "Bookfinder.com," there are several copies of both volumes of "Building the Navy's Bases in Word War II" available for $150-$175 for the set. That's easier than a roadtrip.....
Actually I found a used copy through ABE Books for $30 (Vol. I). There is also a new book publised that documents all the Naval Construction BNs activities individually. Found it at Amazon.com
Volume 2 has a listing of all Naval Construction Brigades, Regiments, Battalions, Battalion Maintenance Units, Battalion Detachments, and Pontoon Assembly Detachments created, with dates of activation and deactivation, and assignments (and my scanner isn't working right now.....).

Please post ISBN of the new book...
I was slightly mistaken on this, the book is acually a 3rd edion printing of a book by Kimmel called "U.s. Navy Seabees: Since Pearl Harbor"
